Mad March | so many things to do
If there were any doubt about Australia's leading events city, a glance at Melbourne in March would settle it - world-class events fill the calendar.
Melbourne proudly holds the title of Australia's sporting capital, but its vibrancy extends far beyond sport. The city also showcases the best in design, food and wine, the great outdoors, music and the arts, fashion, and film.
March is the ideal month for events in Melbourne. The weather is just right, Christmas is behind us, those holiday credit card bills are mostly paid, and we're savoring the moment before winter arrives.
What we've highlighted below is just the beginning. Check out our full events Calendar, packed with even more exciting happenings, or subscribe to our free weekly newsletter for the latest updates on what's on in Melbourne.
